DAANCE ALL MODULES QUESTIONS & ANSWERSUPDATED 2024 - 2025
Anemia ANS - Reduction of the quantity of red blood cells or hemoglobin.
Angina pectoris ANS - Chest pain with the feeling of suffocation usually due to deficiency of blood
supply to the myocardium resulting in ischemia to the myocardium, caused by poor coronary circulation.
Anticholinergic ANS - A drug that counteracts the action of ecetylcholine, the neurotransmitter of the
parasympathetic nervous system and thereby counteracts the parasympathetic nervous system.
Antiemetic ANS - A drug that counteracts nausea and vomiting.
Antisialogogue ANS - A drug that counteracts the production of saliva.
Anxiolytics ANS - Drugs that reduce or dissolve anxiety, agitation or tension.
Aorta ANS - Very large artery receiving oxygen rich blood from the left ventricle and distributed to the
peripheral circulation.
Arrest rhythms ANS - Premature ventricular contractions (PVC's), ventricular tachycardia (Vtach.),
ventricular fibrillation (Vfib.), asystole, pulseless electrical activity (PEA).
Artery ANS - A vessel that carries blood away from the heart.
Ascites ANS - Accumulation of serous fluid in the abdominal cavity can be associated with advanced
cases of liver disease or right sided heart failure.
Asystole ANS - Cessation of all contractions of the myocardium. Frequently follows arrest rhythms such
as VTack. or VFib. Also known as "flat line".
, Ataractics ANS - Pharmacologic agents that produce a tranquilizing effect.
Atherosclerosis ANS - A disease of the arteries characterized by the deposition of plaque on their inner
walls which narrows the lumen and decreases the oxygen-bearing blood supply to the myocardium
Atrial fibrillation (AFib.) ANS - An atrial rhythm originating from multiple ectopic foci in the atria
characterized by rapid randomized contractions of the atrial myocardium causing a totally irregular
baseline and irregular ventricular rate with no P waves.
Atrial flutter ANS - An atrial dysrhythmia represented by multiple flutter waves between each QRS on
the ECG, considered a more significant abnormal rhythm and warrants a cardiovascular evaluation.
Atrial (supraventricular) rhythms ANS - Dysrhythmias in which the pacemaker originates from ectopic
foci (instead of the SA node) in the atria above the level of the ventricles.
Atrial tachycardia ANS - Rapid heart rate originating from the atria represented by a rate of 150-250,
merged P and T waves and a narrow QRS. AKA supraventricular tachycardia.
Atrioventricular block ANS - The blockage of the wave of depolarization from the SA node to the AV
node represented as no P wave, prolonged or variable PR interval or missed beats. Rated by severity 1st,
2nd, and 3rd degree.
Atrioventricular node ANS - A microscopic bundle of heart muscle fibers located at the base of the atria
above the ventricles responsible for transmitting the wave of depolarization from the SA node to the
bundle of his.
Autonomic nervous system ANS - Part of the nervous system that controls smooth muscle, heart
muscle and glands. We cannot consciously control this system but areas of the brain and spinal cord do.
Contains the sympathetic and parasympathetic components.
Balanced anesthesia ANS - Anesthesia that relies on the use of several agents together to utilize the
best aspects of each but in smaller doses to provide analgesia, amnesia, relaxation/immobility,and
hypnosis.
